Review: Be Kind Rewind is a pleasent yarn. Jack Black plays his role well and is generally when he's more dorky than over the top but his performance will still be hit and miss with most. Mos Def is actually the suprise of the picture turning in a very good performance, albeit from the Nickelodeon/stoner school of comedic performance. This film ultimately is just a nice feel good movie to make you smile and it achieves that with ease. Unfortunately if you were looking for a rip roaring comedy then this probably isn't for you but if you want to have your heart warmed for ninity minutes this will be right up you street. (**1/2)
